Frederico Fellini's 8½, the movie

You should watch it if you haven't already..

It's about a director who basically ran out of ideas for his next movie, very meta, very cool.

So, how do you figure out what to write...

It is the first post on Angel Cake I've read. I meant only to check out what other people in here are writing about, since I'm new on Substack, and I didn't notice how I was whirlwinded into this massive funnel of ideas that just grab you under your arms and throw about this creative chaos of the narrator's mind.

I appreciated it so immensely that I instantly wanted more. And so I did read at least ten of your essays and loved every single one of them. Thank you, you've made my day!

P.S. I've finished The Bee Sting and my first post on Substack is the review of this book. What a coincidence!

Congrats on hitting a century (in cricket commentary terms!).

Absolutely loved this sentence - it is the perfect vehicle for creativity because it looks like silk and feels like a callus

The sentence and newsletter flowed so naturally. I’m starting out now, and it is encouraging to see consistency and quality :)
